架构师提供的文本描述。刘凯把这座白色三层楼的住宅设计成一条普通的上海旧式小巷.

Text description provided by the architects. Kai Liu designed this white 3-story residence in a common Shanghai old-style lane.

上海有很多类似的建筑，这些建筑并不新鲜，坐落在一个自然形成的街区，承载着这座城市的记忆。

There are plenty of similar buildings in Shanghai which is not new, and located in a naturally-formed block, carrying the memories of this city.

最初的建筑于1947年建成，由3层楼组成，宽5.5米，深度约15.2米。它朝南，两边都有入口。由于室内空间复杂，深度深，整体室内照明质量差。由于它建于很久以前，部分建筑结构需要修复，我们还对整个建筑进行了加固，统一了整个建筑的高度。北侧的楼梯被拆除，天光和楼梯被设计成建筑的中心，重塑了这座三层建筑的整体逻辑和形式。打洞，钢楼梯可以带来光，楼梯从第一层起沿自然光露台向上延伸，整个房子垂直地围绕着灯光延伸。

The original architecture was completed in 1947, which consists of 3 floors, 5.5 meters in width, and about 15.2 meters in depth. It faces south and has entrances in both sides. Due to the complicated compartments and deep depth, the overall indoor lighting was bad. As it was built long time ago, part of the building structure need to be repaired, we also reinforced the whole architecture, and unified the height of the entire building. The staircase in the northern side was torn down, Skylight and staircase are designed to be the center of the architecture, reshaping the whole logic and form of this 3-story building. Punched holes,the steel stairs can bring in light, The stairs go upward around the natural light patio from the 1st floor, extending the whole house vertically around the light.

刘凯在一楼设计了一个半开放的区域，模糊了室内和室外的界限。改造后，原来的与世隔绝的庭院与三层空间有了新的联系.半室外空间为客厅增添了足够的温暖。阳光、植物、室内、外部和模糊的边界允许空间和生活场景自由切换。院子里留了个洞，春天在哪里种树，这也是我们设计的一部分，可以陪孩子们长大。

Kai Liu designed a semi-opened area on the 1st floor which blurs the boundary between indoor and outdoor. After reconstruction, the original isolated courtyard has a new connection with the 3-story space. The semi-outdoor space adds enough warmth into living room. Sunshine, plant, interior, exterior, and blurry boundary allows spaces and life scene to switch freely. A hole is reserved in the courtyard, where to plant tree in Spring, which could accompany the kids to grow up - time is also a part of our design.

在一楼，阳光居住的餐厅和厨房被设计成一个完整的空间，家庭在其中度过大部分时间在一起。我们希望这个空间属于生活的每一个场景，而不是由功能来定义。我们设计了一个完整的模块化家具墙，称为“生活板”，它可以通过不同的方式装饰或组装，随着生活的改变。从这个角度来看，我们希望未来的设计形式能够逐步由日常生活塑造。

On the 1st floor, the sunlight living-dining room and the kitchen are designed as a whole space, where family spend most of time together. We hope this space belongs to every scene of life, instead of being defined by functions. We designed a whole modular furniture wall, called "life board", which can be decorated or assembled by accessories in diverse ways, along with life changing. From this point of view, we hope the future form of the design could be gradually shaped by daily life.

在二楼，门和存储空间隐藏在墙后，创造了一个干净和完整的区域。在阳光明媚的日子里，它将是一个温暖的家庭空间。

On the 2nd floor, the door and the storage space are hidden behind the wall, which creates a clean and complete area. During sunny days, it will be a warm family space.

孩子的床、桌子和存储空间都是通过我们的设计连接起来的。孩子非常喜欢房子，爬楼梯，在院子里玩耍，这也是我们设计的初衷-给孩子带来一个更大的世界，让他从另一个维度了解变化的世界。

The kid's bed, desk and storage space are connected through our design. The kid likes the house very much, climbing stairs, playing in the courtyard, which is also our design original purpose - to bring a bigger world to the kid, allowing him to know about the changing world from another dimension.

随着自然的日光，沿着钢楼梯，我们可以看到修改天窗，垂直照明窗口和一个纯粹的室外空间。这是我们修改最多的区域。整个建筑从光和垂直空间开始。在主卧室方面，我们保留了原有建筑的斜坡结构，将衣帽间和卫生间统一为一个盒子，最大限度地保留了原来的建筑形式，并在原来的空间中创造了一个不太大的新连接。

Following natural daylight, going up along the steel staircase, we can see modified skylights, vertical lighting windows and a pure outdoor space. This is the area we modified most. The whole building starts from light and vertical space. For the main bedroom, we kept the slope structure of original building, unified the cloakroom and the toilet into a box, reserving the original architectural form to the largest extent and creating a new connection in the original space which is not big.

我们想设计一个承载美和幸福的东西。生活中没有太多的快乐，我们的生活充满了小小的幸福。我们所爱的不是拥有好东西或豪华家具，而是靠我们自己白手起家的生活。看了这么多房子后，我们唯一相信的概念是，一个人不能被固定的生活所束缚，无论是在房子的价值上还是在风格上。

We want to design something carrying beauty and happiness. There is not so much joy in life, and our life is filled with small happiness. What we love is not to possess good things or luxurious furniture, but a self-made life on our own. Having seen so many houses, the only concept we believe is that a person cannot be stuck with a settled life, whether in the house value or style.

房子不等于家，家属于我们和我们的家庭。房子就像一个容器，承载着我们的成长、经验和希望。而设计，给生活带来了更多的宽容。

A house is not equal to home, home belongs to us and our family. A house is like a container to carry our growth, experience and hope. And design, brings more tolerance into life.

家是一个集装箱，承载着我们的日常生活。图像(田芳芳)

我们居住和工作的城市并不完美，甚至有一些混乱的交通和大量的垃圾，但它不是我们设计一个温暖的房子的障碍。这是一座70年代的房子，见证了世世代代的生活。此刻，它似乎已经重生了。

The city where we live and work is not perfect, and there are even some disorder traffic and a lot of garbage, but it is not an obstacle for us to design a warm house. This is a house of 1970s, witnessing the lives of generations. At this moment it seems to be reborn.

这就是我们生活的意义，为了更好。

This is the meaning of our life, to be better.
